I T S U M I J U N K O

When Honoka had returned with the files, Natsumi called us. By us, I meant me and Fujiko. I guess it was already our turn. Looking at her, she gave me a raised eyebrow as I calmly chewed my bubblegum. Oh great, I got paired to another delinquent.

Hidou then looked at the both of us before nodding at Natsumi. I swear to God, these two are like a couple who's trying to hide the fact that they're together. Natsumi noticed my long and sudden silence as I finally glanced at her, seeing that she was a bit curious of what I was thinking.

"Itsumi, are you alright? You're a bit quiet right now," she said as I just waved her off, chewing my bubblegum and popping it afterwards. I don't really like anyone bothering me right now; most especially the vice president of this murder school. Rolling my eyes a bit, I quickly asked Natsumi what she had in store for us.

"First, I have to know what you both picked. You both should have the same choice or else. Since this one is going to be a bit hard, we paired two fighters to do this - which is you and Fujiko. So, what is it going to be, girls? Will it be truth or dare?" she calmly asked with a raised eyebrow as Fujiko and I looked at each other and nodded. Glancing back to her, we both answered in sync.

"Dare." Natsumi nods and gave us both a crucifix. Looking at her with a raised eyebrow, she just gave us a blank look. Oh great, that would really ease our thoughts Natsumi. Thanks for telling me what we're up against. By the way, this is sarcasm talking.

"Natsumi, what exactly are we going to do?" Fujiko asked as I kept a straight face. Natsumi then gulped, before answering her question. And by the looks of it, she seems worried about us.

"The dare for the both of you can be quite risky but you guys will probably survive. Katsu Natsubaki's files are in the occult club. Since he performed that ritual with the girl, she's probably right inside the room. If you encounter her, don't close the door. Just get the files and run as fast as you can to escape," she exclaimed as I popped my bubblegum. So, that's why she gave us a crucifix.

"By the way, don't die on us or freeze on the spot, alright? We need you to get those files, alive." That was the last thing she said before she pushed us outside. We heard the door slamming behind us so I could imagine that an invisible timer was counting down already. Running through our right, we quickly took the stairs. After we ascend, we saw a guy walking calmly towards us.

His right eye was covered by his bangs so I couldn't really make out what it looks like. But, the other one showed his blue eyes glowing in the dark. That's pretty cool. When he was already near, he smiled at us. At first, I thought he was a bad ghost but when he had introduced himself, we already knew that we were finding his files.

"Do you girls need some help on getting in and out of the occult club?" he asked as I gave him a scoff. Chewing my bubblegum and popping it afterwards, I saw Fujiko giving me a glare. I guess she can read my look. Smirking at her, I erased my first thought and finally spoke.

"Sure, why not? If there's a demon waiting to devour us, we might need some help anyway," I answered as I could hear Katsu chuckling at my sarcasm. He probably knew that I was thinking of declining his offer but I guess his help couldn't hurt.

All the three of us walked to the left, seeing that the sign of the occult club was now covered in blood and on the outside were fresh human parts that were eaten and left to rot. I gave a disgusted look on it as Fujiko tried not to puke on the horrifying sight. Even if we were a delinquent, we weren't used to intestines and vital parts of a human; most especially when they are on the floor - bloody and reeking.

Going inside, we didn't shut the door. We might need to escape very soon anyway. Katsu walked beside us, making sure that we weren't going to be devoured. As I saw a folder lying on the floor, I quickly ran towards it and picked it up. Suddenly, I felt something falling on my arm. I glanced at it and saw that an intestine had already fallen as I shook it off, completely shocked at what I saw.

Hearing a loud screech, I didn't even hesitate to run.

The demon was above me, almost grabbing my hair if I didn't dodge her attacks. Fujiko saw this and quickly ran towards me, grabbing my arm before dashing outside. We heard Katsu yelling at the demon as she gave him a loud screech that could almost make anyone deaf. We ran back downstairs and we heard loud footsteps behind us. Pushing the door open, we went inside as we saw the demon struggling to follow us.

Looking back, we saw Katsu dragging her tail and disappeared in darkness - dragging the demon with him. Breathing deeply, I thanked Fujiko as she gave me a nod afterwards in understanding. Walking towards Natsumi and Hidou, I gave them the folder and went back to my seat. Wow, that was one heck of a run.

I then saw Jun waking Akio up, almost jumping in joy. He gave her a confused look as she ran towards Hidou and Natsumi, talking a bit fast for their liking. I guess she's almost near in figuring out what happened to this academy. I suddenly smiled at the sight of Akio putting his arms around Jun's shoulder - looking down at her as he gave her a sweet smile.

I do wish that we could get out of this hell hole sooner. The faster we could get those files, the better.
